I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't comprehend this the tiniest little bit.
Few mac applications use the serial ports, unless you count apps
that use the printer drivers.
Now, if you're suggesting that Apple use the Comm Toolbox in the printer
drivers, so we can attach printers however we like, I understand. I'm
sure you won't find Apple to be receptive to that idea, though.
But I fail to see otherwise why "virtually all" applications use
serial ports, or should worry about the CTB.
